I agree wholeheartedly with Alcon and BRTD.

No.  Political speech should not be banned unless it advocates directly for unlawful action.

Do you guys not see something pretty dangerous about giving the majority the ability to restrict the political speech of anyone they find distasteful or troubling?  This only works so long as the majority opinion is aligned with values you find good.  Once it's not, the majority can completely take away your ability to even publicly advocate for your positions.

This is such an important thing to remember, and it's scary how easy it is for people to forget it. Especially seeing it from people who I've seen call themselves liberal and skeptical for years.
